Great Blue Heron on his afternoon watch looking over his fishing grounds. Different day, different lake....might be the same heron following me around just to play with my head.

It is standing proud and tall and thanking you for giving its life meaning. That's what it seems to say. Most likely it would appreciate a few fish a little more. No offense Opie. lol
Another great photo in your heron series. Again very clear.

This is such a good, clear image of him. Paul I just got done voting this one right up there, and your name came to mind when I saw it. It really did! :) =^..^= sandi ♪

great closeup. I wish you wouldn't have cut off his feet. It leaves me feeling "in-grounded". Ha!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Would it matter, Paul, as long as he continues to provide you with these wonderful poses for your shots? lol Another very fine post.

A great shot of the Tri-Colored Heron Paul. I found they usually pretty much stay in the same territory, especially if the fishin's good. Great post
Thanks for sharing

I think it is the same one. I have noticed that other than when mating, they stake a claim to an area. Even if you spook them,if you wait patiently they will often return to the same spot soon. Sweet colors and details. Like Pat said, a bit close on the feet. Maybe try backing off a little then cropping a little after, if you like. The nice details your getting should allow for that.

Yep, feet are important, but I'm keeping it for the rest of it. Nice shot anyway.

Another great shot of another beautiful heron. I think it is a different bird - since it is a different lake, although since you did not mention the lakes, they may be very close together. Our herons up here (north of you in Alabama) seem to like having their feet submerged a lot.

Just gave you a high score in VB just now and didn't know it was yours Paul. Fabulous capture with wonderful colours.
